The Cowboy Junkiesare a Canadian alt-country/ alternative rockband, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family. The group formed in Toronto in 1985. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.) The Trinity Sessionis perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane".

Cowboy Junkies
Ill never get out of these blues alive
No, Ill never, Ill never get out of these blues alive
Well he gone and left me
I dont know what Ill do the rest of my life
Drinking black coffee and smoking cigarettes
Drinking black coffee, yeah, and smoking cigarettes

No, Ill never, Ill never get out of these blues alive
He gone and left me
Says hell never come back home
Ill never come out of these blues alive
No, Ill never, Ill never come out of these blues alive
He gone and left me
I dont know what Ill do the rest of my life
Working up a sweat all night long and jumping over my bed
(___) sweat all night long and jumping over my bed
I cant see no use to try
Well, Ill never, never come out of these blues alive
Ill never, never come out of these, out of these blues alive
You know I miss him
